No! Quincy had its own share of bizarre, head-scratching headlines throughout the year. Fortunately, “weird” is where we shine here at KICK-FM! So without further ado, may I present the top six “Only in Quincy-est” moments of 2016…

Maybe the refrigerator ran out of Guinness and was all like "Is Killian's okay?" And if that’s the case, I say the fridge was asking for it. Come on, refrigerator, get it together!
